Default New Wheels for the Blobeye

Hi, I'm looking to order these over the next couple of days for my blobeye WRX

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/vie...d=370857807813 with falkens for an extra £100

I can't find any reviews of this wheel, has anybody experienced or know of these wheels on a scoob?

To be honest at £800 Id say you could probably get Rota Grids. But tyres for £100 extra swings the deal a little.

If they are chucking in 4 falken tyres for £100 which normally retail at £100 each is a tad odd imo

It was £800 for the wheel/tyre package and for an extra £100 the tyres can be upgraded.

Thanks for the advice.
I've gone for the Bola rather than the Rota Grid Drifts, due to the overall cost.
In addition I was looking for style over function as I don't do track days ect...

I've had the wheels on for about 3 weeks now and I'm pleased about the build and drive, taking into account of the expected harder drive.

On the downside I've now got a seized calliper piston, after a good look the dust seals have perished or damaged by the previous owners replacement....
Time to get my hands dirty and order a seal kit.
